Dan Brooks over at StarWars.com catches up with Daniel José Older to discuss Last Shot, the Han and Lando three-time era story that hits shelves 17th April.
StarWars.com: What did you learn about Han and Lando having written this story? And what do you hope readers learn about them?
Daniel José Older: As much as I already loved these characters going into this project, I came to love them even more as I delved into their similarities and differences and complex friendship. There were so many fun nuances to explore, from how each of them gets suited up for a night out or battle, to how clean or disastrously messy they kept the Falcon (* sneezes * Ahh-Han!), to their relationships to different women in their lives, and it just became a really fascinating journey in contrasts, amidst all the laser blasts, space fights, and planet-hopping.
As a fan of the original Brian Daley trilogy since it first came out in 1979, I’m looking forward to this book as much as anything else coming out this year.
